How long have you been online?
Do you remember the glory days of AOL, and how excited you got when you heard the words: "You've got mail!" coming out of your computer speakers?
The 90's were my Generation's 1960's. You either lived it, or you wish you had.
For those of you who didn't get the experience first hand, there's a website called "The Wayback machine" which snapshots the code of websites and archives them. You can now go back and visit sites like Google, Walmart, Coke, Pepsi, or even Playboy's first attempts at reaching out to the masses online.
Remember, though, that these were the days before Flash, Javascript, Banner Ads, Forums and other things you might take for granted online today were even thought of, let alone coded by some poor geek in his basement.
Just type a URL into The Internet Wayback Machine and off you go!
For a more authentic experience, add 30 - 60 minutes into the load time of any website you choose.
Enjoy!
